Press Release
NPP
April 14, 2016
REMARKS
BY NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFO-ADDO AT THE LAUNCH OF THE
NPP 2016 FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
ON APRIL 13, 2016 AT
THE NPP HEADQUARTERS.
Good afternoon. It is a
pleasure to have you all here at the launch of the NPP’s
2016 fundraising campaign, targeted at every single
Ghanaian who is depressed and dejected at the sorry
state in which our country is.
Ghana, today, is in
crisis. Agriculture, once upon a time the bedrock of our
development, is a pale shadow of its former self.
Manufacturing is at a very low ebb. Corruption is at its
height. Our economy is in tatters. Inflation is high.
Taxes are rising. Businesses, both big and small, are
struggling, and millions of young men and women are
without work.
Incompetence is the hallmark of the Mahama
government. Government appointments are not based on
merit, but on considerations which are not only
puzzling, but also bizarre. Our healthcare system is in
shambles, with the collapse of the NHIS. The cost of
education continues to be a big challenge for too many
families. Young people, who have toiled to obtain
qualifications, are having great difficulty in finding
jobs. And there are hundreds of thousands of Ghanaian
children who are not getting the kind of education that
they need to compete in the 21st century.
Ghana
is in trouble. There is the need for a change in the way
this country is governed, a change that will make way
for a competent, honest, hardworking, well-qualified
team to take over the affairs of this country and steer
it in the direction of prosperity for all, instead of
the current state of affairs which dwells on prosperity
for the friends and family of the people in power.
What excites me is that, in spite of all the
difficulties, the Ghanaian people have hope. They have
hope for a brighter future. They have hope because they
believe change is coming. They believe change is coming
because all over the country, Ghanaians from all walks
of life, whether NPP or not, are all doing their bit to
make this change happen this November.
People are
supporting the campaign with cash donations, both big
and small. And there are many people who are waking up
at dawn every day simply to pray for this campaign and
its success. There are also people who, without
prompting from the campaign team, are engaging in
door-to-door campaigns and educating people on why and
how Mahama’s incompetent governance is setting us and
our country back; and why a vote on November 7th for me
and the NPP, based on its solid track record under
President J.A. Kufuor, will mean a vote for a
better-managed economy, a revamped agricultural sector,
the revival of our manufacturing sector, a revived NHIS,
an accessible, quality educational system, and a vibrant
private sector which drives the economy and by so doing
creates employment for Ghana’s youth. To you all, who
continue to spend time and money on this campaign, I say
a big thank you. God richly bless you.
It is not
only in Ghana that I meet people eager to support the
2016 NPP campaign with their money. Whenever I travel
abroad, people keep asking how to support the 2016 NPP
campaign. And I continue to receive countless emails,
Facebook messages and other messages on social media
from Ghanaians, home and abroad, with the same question.
Today, I finally have an answer for them and
deem it an honour to launch a fundraising campaign that
would give Ghanaians, who have had enough of the bad
governance of President Mahama, the opportunity to
contribute generously to the NPP campaign that will, by
the Grace of God, rid us of the Mahama government in
November.
The Campaign Fundraising team has
devised several means by which people can make a
donation to this campaign. People can contribute via
special airtime top-up scratch cards, via SMS, via
cluster platforms. via the ‘I-am-for-Nana’ mobile app
which allows donors, both in Ghana and abroad, to
contribute using their Visa or Mastercard and allows
donors in Ghana to donate also via Mobile Money.
Today, I invite students, business people,
engineers, IT people, teachers, contractors, workers,
professionals, public servants, security personnel,
media people, bankers, industrialists, taxi drivers,
truck drivers, fishermen, farmers, traders, market
women, carpenters, painters, masons, shoe-shine boys,
hawkers, nurses, doctors, lecturers, tailors,
hairdressers and dressmakers; I invite every single
Ghanaian, who is sick and tired of the Mahama
government’s corruption and incompetence, to sign up to
donate money to the NPP campaign and throw their weight
behind it, believing that, in the collective force of
their individual power, together, we would effect the
change our country so desperately needs.
No
amount is too small. If 1,000 people donate one cedi
every day till Election Day, the campaign will raise in
excess of two hundred thousand cedis; a sum of money
that would significantly support our efforts to ensure
we get rid of the Mahama government, God willing, on
November 7th. And, I assure you, the money you
contribute will be used for its true purpose.
We
need to rescue our country and get her to work again. We
need to save Ghana from the Mahama government. Let us
come together to save our country by doing our bit to
achieve the change we so much desire.
Donate for
Change! Pray for Change! Knock Doors for Change! Arise
for Change!
God bless Ghana and God bless us all. I
thank you for your kind attention.
